KGS Possible Rules Bug Discussion

    Keywords: Online Go

mgoetze: There is a problem with the implementation of New Zealand (and possibly other) rules (moved to KGS Possible Rules Bug Discussion), in that the server presumes that when both players pass they are also agreeing to end the game. This was not the case for me in a game today. I had agreed on a handicap of 360 stones, and since the server would not handle this automatically, we agreed he would pass 359 times. However, after placing about 180 handicap stones, I wanted to pass as well (a legal move under NZ rules), and the server thought we had agreed the game was over.

[Moved from KGS Wishlist.]

Rafael: Er, Michael, you said I had "bloated the point up far beyond what it is worth"... so why not just erase this after all? :-)
